Neco Model Questions Vol1 2022 English Language Question 67

Read the passage below and answer the three questions that follow. "When the river finally broke its banks, the children of Riverside town did not run for safety. Instead, they gathered their wooden boats, tied them together, and floated the elderly to the hilltop. The floodwaters, relentless as a marching drum, threatened to wash away memories of the old school, the market stalls, and the ancient banyan tree that had witnessed generations. Yet, amidst the roar, a young girl shouted, ‘We will not let the water drown our stories!' Her voice sparked a chain reaction: volunteers formed human chains, teachers organized makeshift classrooms on rooftops, and the community pledged to rebuild stronger, planting saplings that would one day shade the new school. The flood, while devastating, became a catalyst for unity, proving that even the fiercest currents cannot erase the spirit of a people who choose hope over despair."
